Hunkeler's Secret Reviews
It is sparely-written, short, and first-rate.” ---The Critic

Author Note for The Man in the Corduroy Suit
Three stand-alone stories, three spies, one very serious problem. In this day and age, with the meaning of duty, tradition and loyalty increasingly open to interpretation, how do you make sure your spies do what they’re told? And what do you do when they don’t?
The Murder of Anton Livius REVIEWS
"The novel is sophisticated, well-written, witty, as in the description of the pompous, class-obsessed author of detective novels, and short. I was very impressed.”---The Critic
The Man in the Corduroy Suit REVIEWS
"Wolff is particularly good at making his lead, who could have been a colorless figure in lesser hands, sympathetic, and delivers some truly knockout twists. John le Carré admirers will be hungry for more.” ---Publishers Weekly
"With a precision in his use of language suggestive of a poet who sidelines as a surgeon, Wolff manages to create books that appeal to those who love spy stories and to those who loathe them." ---Morning Star
Reviews The Hand That Feeds You
"A provocative, heady, and incredibly smart thriller based in Uruguay detailing the chaos that occurs after a crime."---LoveReading
“Here’s a superior piece of crime writing, written in a punchy, filmic style reminiscent, surprisingly enough, of Damon Galgut’s Booker Prize winning The Promise."---Crime Time
